To Experience Virginia Tech is to explore, practice, and live the Aspirations for Student Learning, whether in residence halls, in dining centers, through campus organizations and internships, in the classroom, or in service. Aspirations Fellows are students who have explored their interests and discovered opportunities to apply their strengths both in and out of the classroom; who have practiced self-reflection in an effort to truly integrate their curricular and co-curricular learning; and, who are ready to live as leaders and mentors to other students.

Applicants must be at least sophomore status with a minimum of 30 credit hours completed by they apply and must be in good academic, academic honor code, and conduct standing with the university.
